Is it true...

[Blayde]

Hey - don't mean to sound crude but I heard this today, that if you sneeze and fart and the same time you die! Is this true or is it just a tall tale?

[andy hughes]

Itg's probably something every single person alive has done at least once, so you can figure out how true it is from there! Certainly any parent will tell you that no child would survive babyhood, and no-one who has a little too much to drink would live to tell the tale. Where do these ideas come from!

As most people can sneeze voluntarily it should be possible to try next time you fart(!) Please e-mail us and tell us how you got on.

No, it isn't true. CBBC have been running trailers featuring this "fact", but considering another trailer in the same vein is repeating the ancient, long-debunked canard about swallowing x number of spiders, I would suggest that their research has been somewhat less than exhaustive.

A real risk if you're doing a tightrope-walk across the Niagara Falls without a safety harness, I'd say!
